Korean allergy card for travelers
Pick what you can’t eat in your own language. You get a card in Korean with your language underneath, ready to show restaurant staff in Korea.
How it works
Korean dishes hide common allergens in places visitors don’t expect: sesame oil, perilla seeds, soy sauce in almost every broth, wheat in gochujang, anchovy or shrimp in kimchi and soups. Pointing at a phone translation often gets a quick “no problem”. A clear card that names each ingredient and asks about broth, sauce and shared oil gets a better answer.
How to use it: choose your language, tick every ingredient you must avoid (the list follows the EU 14 major allergens plus ones common in Korean food such as perilla, buckwheat and pine nuts), add requests like “not spicy” or “no pork”, then press Make my card. Print it or save it as a PDF on your phone.
The allergen names come from a fixed, hand-checked dictionary, not machine translation, so the Korean wording is the same every time. The card is a communication aid only: carry your own medication and confirm every dish.
